Ohio rep. Barrett’s civic lesson includes nude woman


From the can’t make this up department, courtesy of NewsNet5:

A state politician who was giving a lecture to high school students inserted a data memory stick into a computer and the projected image of nude woman appeared on a screen, the state highway patrol said.

The memory stick, along with a school computer used Tuesday by state Rep. Matthew Barrett, were taken into custody and were being examined, said patrol spokesman Lt. Tony Bradshaw.

What did they find?

Barrett, who was giving a civics presentation to about 20 students in a senior government class at Norwalk High School in northern Ohio, said school’s technology director looked at the memory stick and determined that it had a directory of nude images.

“I have no idea where these came from,” said Barrett, a Democrat from Amherst in northeast Ohio.

Barrett said there were a few snickers from students when the image of a topless woman appeared on the screen. He then immediately pulled the memory stick out of the computer.

Oh yeah.

    heaven help me picturing Barrett standing in that classroom, the first thing I thought of when reading this were those Southwest airlines commercials:

    “Wanna get away?”

    Oh, yeah, WHERE oh WHERE could those images have come from? The nudie picture gremlins?

    Reminds me a time back at Notre Dame Elementary in Chardon in 1976 when a representative from some big local company (don’t remember which) came to give a slide show to us on Ohio’s canals. He was drunker than a skunk and provided us all with grand amusement for an hour. The nuns complained.

    Maybe it was his, but I smell a prank.

    B’shalom,
